Promoting l’excellence
Committed to supporting its professional association shareholders by fostering the development of the next generation of practitioners, Professionals’ Financial is proud to offer these scholarships for excellence. This commitment is part of the Financial’s educational mandate given to it by its shareholders, which it is carrying out by awarding $490,000 in scholarships over a five-year period to two universities: Université de Montréal and Université Laval.

In 2017, sixteen different scholarships were awarded in five faculties whose graduates go on to become members of our shareholder organizations: medicine, dentistry, law, pharmacy and architecture.
